I'm in Massachusetts, zone 6. My backyard is forested and swampy. In the shady-but-not-muddy areas, there is a humble little plant that put up heart-shaped leaves this spring. Each leaf springs individually from a root or stolon that creeps along below the leaf litter, and each leaf is only a couple of inches long.
This same plant now appears to be putting up clusters of leaves, each with a flower in the middle. Can anyone identify this plant? It grows alongside jack-in-the-pulpit, jewelweed, and poison ivy. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This looks like False Lily of the Valley aka Canada Mayflower - Maianthemum canadense. It is pretty common here in PA. |
Yes Canada Mayflower, a very common native woodland groundcover. They make delicate little white clusters of flowers that are very fragrant. These are growing in an evergreen border in my yard, I was delighted to find out they were native! |

Anyone know how dry this little plant can stand? I've been offered some, but the place I have for it is under a large holly tree, which works like a big umbrella. I've built up the leaf litter over the past couple of years, so that may help. |

The Garcia Center centrally integrates care among many health services to ensure patients get the most appropriate care for their individual health and wellness needs.

".. the imaginative and intellectual work undertaken by artists is a form of research that has the potential to make important contributions to contemporary art, culture, and education in the broadest possible sense...the kind of research artists do in studios, classrooms, communities, and cyberspace"" -Graeme Sullivan, Art Practice as Research: Inquiry in the Visual Arts
Our practice as artists is dependent on what we produce. But there are times when we need only to explore, where the result is so far from the horizon, that we cannot see it. While often the most productive of times, it is hard for most artists to justify a step away from the exhibition schedule, from deadlines, and from the scene in general in order to dedicate the time needed to really know a subject.
It's time to reward someone for taking the leap to pursue something complex, for doing the research, and taking the time to learn. Let's acknowledge the time and commitment an individual is putting forth in order to gain and ultimately share knowledge for the betterment of all of us.

Winner Phil Ross has spent a large part of his creative practice experimenting with, growing, and developing Mycotecture: architecture grown from mushroom mycelium. His experiments may change the way we build the future.
"The digital arts (AKA New Media Art, tech art, net art, interactive art, or whatever other moniker you want to use—we're talking about artistic works that are using digital technology as an essential part of the creative process) have long been the red-headed stepchild of the art world. Though the first computer art exhibitions were staged back in 1965, some 55 years later, the digital arts remain as much an outsider in the contemporary art world as ever, forever denied access to the secret clubhouse." -read more on The Creators Project #DIGART
Creators who put their work online, who experiment with systems online and who allow us to experience their projects online are wickedly underfunded. The goal of this prize was to award one of those creators. Winner Destructables.org is an advertising free Do It Yourself website for projects of protest and creative dissent. It is a living archive and resource for the art and activist communities.

Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX) and Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today jointly announced that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement to develop and commercialize pacritinib. Pacritinib is a novel investigational JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor with activity against genetic mutations linked to myelofibrosis, leukemia and certain solid tumors. Pacritinib is currently in Phase III development for patients with myelofibrosis, a chronic malignant bone marrow disorder.
Under the terms of the agreement, Baxter gains exclusive commercialization rights for all indications for pacritinib outside the United States and Baxter and CTI will jointly commercialize pacritinib in the United States. Baxter will make an upfront payment of $60 million, which includes an equity investment in CTI of $30 million. In addition, CTI is eligible to receive clinical, regulatory, and commercial launch milestone payments of up to $112 million, $40 million of which relates to clinical milestones that may be achieved in 2014. Assuming regulatory approval and commercial launch, CTI may receive additional sales milestone payments. CTI will receive royalties on net sales of pacritinib in ex-US markets, and the companies will share U.S. profits equally. Baxter will record a special pre-tax in-process research and development charge in the fourth quarter of 2013 of approximately $30 million.
''The collaboration will complement Baxter's existing oncology business and growing oncology pipeline, and will leverage our global commercialization capacity to extend the availability of pacritinib, which we believe has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need,'' said Ludwig Hantson, Ph.D., President of Baxter BioScience. ''As an established leader in hematology and rare diseases, we are committed to advancing novel therapies in an effort to broaden patient access to care.''
''We believe Baxter represents the ideal strategic partner to achieve the full potential of pacritinib,'' said James A. Bianco, M.D., President and CEO of CTI. ''Our two companies share a dedication to oncology and a vision for bringing this unique oral JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor to patients with certain blood cancers and solid tumors. This collaboration will provide additional financial resources and commercial expertise to position us to pursue the development, commercialization and market potential of pacritinib.''

I love ALL the quads that ELF has released. They are very pigmented (esp. when you use their primer) These are great when you are traveling too! They are small and have a mini mirror.
I love E.L.F. for selling (pretty) good quality products at reasonable prices. However, that does not mean that this palette is a 5 star product. The shadows are very powdery and leave lots of fall out. The medium gray color is very UNpigmented, and the white is very sheer as well. The black is not quite black, and the dark gray comes out as very very glittery.
Overall, if you need some monochromatic colors for a smokey eye, try these out at first. If you want a good white, black, and gray shadow for your collection, skip these. They're worth a dollar, but they are not that great.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I only have 3 different quads by ELF, and i have to say this is my favorite. So pigmented!!!! Even the white color is very pigmented!! And the 4 colors have different finishes.
The price is a joke... 1 dollar!!!
With a decent/good primer the eyeshadows last a long time on me.
You can throw this in your purse and that's all you'll need for a basic eye look.
I love it :)
Just tried this quad a few days ago and I really liked the result. I followed a youtube tutorial and the result was gorgeous. definitely should be for evening or going out as it is very dramatic and the colors are intense....great for a smokey eye....a smokey eye for $1 - who woulda thunk it ??? e.l.f did!!!! will definitely repurchase...
More reviews by pimpcessleelee
Wow! I love this quad. I recommend this as a night time look. The colors blend beautifully together. It's not very high-pigmented but it's still a pretty good amount. Worth the $1!
This is a great, super cheap little quad for a smokey eye. It has a matte white, a shimmery light blue based gray, a deeper gray with silver sparkle, and a dark gray with subtle shimmer. My favorite is the white because it has a slight sheen to it, and I love it for highlighting the brow-bone on a daily basis. This is obviously not the best quality of shadows, but for a dollar, you really get a decent set of colors that blend well and last all day over a primer.
OMG...Only a $1.00!!! It gives the BEST smokey eyes ever! I do use a great eyeshadow primer, so it doesn't fade or crease. I would never not use a primer with a cheap eyeshadow. I blend, blend, blend. And, it's fabulous!!!! I never dreamed I'd ever buy or love an eyeshadow that only cost ONE dollar. Back in the day...If it was a dollar? It probably had no pigment whatsoever and no lasting power. Boy have times changed when it comes to lowend cosmetics. This is super pigmented, and it has a nice soft satiny shimmery consistancy to the dark gray and black colors in it. I wish I got it sooner. I kept passing it by at Target, and I finally got it. So glad I did! Talk about biggest cheapest thrill ever! I wish the other colors in the line were as appealing as Drama because I'd buy them all. I am going to keep an eye on this line for new colors! The dark gray is the perfect shimmery dark gray with no blue...It's a true charcoal gray shimmer. And the black is very satiny...not too matte with satin sheen to it. The other two colors...silver and white...are not as interesting to me as the gray and black! Love the gray and black!
Update: HOLYGRAIL! I went back and got 5 backups! Only 5 bucks! lol Nice! I hit pan pretty fast within the first week on the shimmery dark grey color. The black e/s in this quad is amazing...Reminds me of an old discontinued Shu e/s I use to own -so satiny and smooth! This quad is a one stop to smokey eye perfection! lovelovelovelovelove
More reviews by MochaChocolatte
I have to admit, I did love this quad when I first bought it for a dollar. At my first use I was amazed by the quality that can for such a cheap price.
After reading other reviews, I realized all the positive reviews only compared the price to the quality instead of writing anything about the shadows themselves.
After trying the quad out a few times, here's my breakdown:
White shadow: not well pigmented, the highlight is only visible up close.
Dark grey: not pigmented at all, it's practically all glitter.
Black: not even black, more of a grey.
Light grey: again, mostly glitter and barely any color.
Overall, the shadows themselves give a lot of fallout. The quad itself is really tiny, its about the size of half my palm. In my opinion, it's better to save that dollar for a candy bar or a better quad.
Great for a smokey eye, love it and it stays on..
better then MAC at $1.00 you cannot beat it
the only gripe is that the powder goes every where so you must
brush it off and then either reapply foundation or powder to get ride of
the dark powder under your eyes

La Luna (Portland, Oregon)
La Luna (or LaLuna) was a rock-'n'-roll nightclub in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1992 to 1999. It played a central role in Portland's prominence during the emergence of grunge in that era, helping to propel bands from Portland and the surrounding area like Sweaty Nipples, The Dharma Bums, Pond, Hitting Birth, Hazel, The Spinanes, Elliott Smith, Everclear, The Dandy Warhols, and Quasi to national stardom.[1] It was described as the "best medium-size venue in Portland. It's also an all-ages venue that somehow manages to stay cool."[2]
Located at the corner of Southeast Ninth Avenue and Southeast Pine Street, La Luna was previously known as the Ninth Street Exit (in the 1970s) and the Pine Street Theater (1980–1986).[1] It was later known again as the Pine Street Theater (2000–02) and later as Solid State (2004–05).

I have a meyer lemon that I just potted. I've had it for only a few months. I noticed it leaning in the nursery pot, so when I potted it, I tried to angle it so it didn't lean. That didn't work. Is it okay to leave it or is there something I should be doing to fix this? I've never owned a citrus tree before and am clueless. Also, the temp at night is in the 40's - should I bring it inside at night? Its in the low 80's and sunny during the day. Thanks! |

ITS CUTE.. How come you don't plant it in the ground there?Boy if only I could with mine... You could always prune it to encourage the plant to grow on the other side come the spring, if the trunk is straight up.. Mike |
I have another that I'm planting in the ground; I want to experiment and see the growth difference. How do I prune it or get the trunk straight? It is cute, isn't it? |

I would probably repot it so that the longest limb -- the one extending out to the left in the photo -- is more upright and becomes the leader. Then you'd need to stake that limb so that it is perfectly upright -- this might take several ties. And you may need to tighten the ties over several years, so you don't risk breaking the limb. Then you can trim that longest limb back by about 6 inches or so. Looks like you'd lose some fruit this way, but it's an experiment, right? This will give you a 'tree' or 'standard' form, if that is what you want. It should bush out from there. Or if you want the shrubby 'bush' look, just trim back the longest limbs. |
If it were my tree, I would just leave it be; it is a fine looking young Meyer. If you rotate the pot every few weeks, or when you think about it, it will eventually even out; and Meyers are more a bush than a traditional tree. |
Thanks for the advice! |

I too would just leave it alone.. My two kumquat trees did just fine and they had strong leans to one side. Kumquats are more of a bush to. The inground meyer lemon will kick the potted tree's rear end around our planet 7 time in less than 1 second.. It is no contest |
In a couple of months it will be in the 20's at night. Won't that kill the unground meyer? |

It might. You may have to put a "tent" over it with a light bulb. If there is active growth you will need to protect it. Meyer lemons are small enough that you could design and fabricate a light weight cloth cover for it and a string of christmas lights would provide enough heat for it. I was not aware that citrus trees grow in florida as citrus greening forced them into extinction. |

I've been away from brewing for a while trying to finish a home renovation, but now its time to start my rig build! My question is which system (RIMS or HERMS) do you prefer and why? I have access to 220v and natural gas. If you don't have a perfect rig what would you build if money wasn't an issue? I'm currently leaning towards a Hybrid HERMS (electric HLT and gas fired boil kettle). I'm hoping the breadth of knowledge and experience here can help me make the right decision.
I found HERMS slow and sometimes a bit finicky (lots of tubing and a pump that sometimes failed to prime). I like steam now. There are a ton of threads and posts here, including a simple system based on a pressure cooker. Steam may not solve all of the issues associated with any other method, but I've had great results using it.
I'm using HERMS and love it... I hear the disadvantage to RIMS is that if you're not careful the hot elemen in the recirc area can scald the wort, if you're not careful, but I don't have one so I'm speaking from what I've heard. I love my HERMS. Great clear worts out of it and easy to control mash...
Thanks Yuri, i've recently seen you half barrel system and its very impressive; quite a step up from the corny version you had a year ago. I guess its a category of its own?
pickles, it is perhaps a category of its own. When directly injecting steam into the mash, it's most like a direct fired mash tun. If I successfully manage to recirculate through the new gadgetry, that portion will behave most like RIMS. In no case will there be any scorching from a hot element directly in contact with the wort. Mostly, I like the fast heating that steam provides (direct steam injection is FAR faster than any recirculating method) along with the flexibility of the rig that I'm envisioning.
do you use solenoids and love (or similar) controllers to regulate temps? I'm assuming you use gas for the boil.
I use solenoids and a microcontroller board that I program myself. I just got another 5500W heating element for the boil. I'm going all electric.
I use a direct fired completely manual RIMS. It was easy to build and it's easy to operate. I find it to be very versatile and it can handle multi-step mashing easily. I particularly like the simplicity of it. It's not much more than a couple of propane burners, mash tun, boil kettle and a pump. It's Fire Brewed!
thanks Catt22 for the input. I should add that I love building things! I want to build an automated system, i'm just not sure which style to chose. I currently have a keggle and two donor kegs awaiting transformation.
I should include...my 1/2 bbl boiler is for 15+ gallon batches. Even so, it's overkill. I don't recommend it unless you're REALLY serious about steam. Try out a pressure cooker before going full bore with a big boiler like that.

The Promise of Radio Paradise: An Open-Source Challenge to Commercial Radio
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Re: The Promise of Radio Paradise: An Open-Source Challenge to C
So what's to allow normal people like me and the "connoisseurs" to use streaming radio? These streamers still need to pay for bandwidth and now (retroactive) royalities on tunes played. These costs are the most significant ones.
The only people I can see that will benefit from Linux hardware and software are the big corporations like Clear Channel or the RIAA members. They can afford the bandwidth and royalty structures. Linux and open source software merely lowers their initial costs (which in all likelihood will be tax deductible anyway as it depreciates).
This merely leaves us back at square one.
What am I missing?
Re: The Promise of Radio Paradise: An Open-Source Challenge to C
Forget FM or Clear Channel. They will soon be obsolete as wireless broadband begins to blanket metro areas. FM radio is lower quality than the 128 kbit stream I get from radio paradise, plus the songs are terrible. Clear Channel can buy up all the radio bandwidth they want - but they will see a declining listener base in the coming decade. Maybe Clear Channel will get lucky and they can sell off their obsolete bandwidth to some new technology that can make a better use of it.
Another thought I've had:
I hate having to go find music to download - chances are, I could look all day and just find mainstream junk or non mainstream junk. ITunes, while it IS better than the old CD distribution system, is still more work and costs more money than I want to put forth to listen to music I like.
Enter Radio Paradise. Its group of listeners have a very similar taste for music, which allows this station to provide the perfect balance of good new (and old) music. I don't have to pick the songs, like FM radio, but it is a better selection and no wickedly annoying adverts.
Props to Bill G.
Re: The Promise of Radio Paradise: An Open-Source Challenge to C
You're right that we're at square one. But without Bill Goldsmith we'd be at square zero.
What Bill's put together is good for anybody wanting to run a serious web radio station that makes money. Not a lot of money, necessarily, but enough to cover the costs, which include both bandwidth and royalties. That's what he has with Radio Paradise.
According to Bill, royalties aren't the big issue. Labor is. What he's put together for his station, plus KPIG and SmoothJazz.com, is an easy way to select and play music, keep a record of it, and integrate the station's programming with the Web -- in a way that welcomes and involves listener input, among other things. Nothing in commercial radio comes close, especially where the Web is involved (which it isn't).
What he's hoping is that some hackers with broadcasting ambitions will come forward and pick up the ball he started rolling. I hope they do.
Re: The Promise of Radio Paradise: An Open-Source Challenge to C
Thank you for the reply. It sounds like a great idea, no doubt about it. I guess my biggest obstacle is believing it is still possible for low-level radio stations to become economically viable for many.
I'd like to discuss this further but I believe that we'd end up agreeing. :)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Going Through A Breakup: What's Normal?
When a relationship ends, the roller coaster of feelings we experience range from sad and tearful to downright scary and paralyzing. Breakups are never easy. The isolation, fears about the future and uncertainty about what went wrong can bring on deep feelings of depression. Much of this process is normal and part of the experience we must go through to heal.
But what happens when it takes a more frightening turn? When someone's feelings of sadness tread into suicidal territory? How can we distinguish between normal breakup blues and those that may prove more serious?
A 22-year-old runway model named Tom Nicon recently jumped to his death on the heels of a breakup that those close to him said left him struggling with depression. It's a tragic ending to a life filled with promise. Surely the people in his life are now wondering if they might have done something more to prevent it.
Were there signs they could have seen that may have helped to save his life? When breakups happen, it's normal to feel depressed, sad and uncertain about the future. A death of sorts has occurred, and we have to mourn what has ended. Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote about the five stages of grief in her groundbreaking book "On Death and Dying." As Ross explains it, the initial stages of grief are filled with all of the feelings: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The thing about grief is that anyone who experiences a loss must navigate these waters; they're not unique to loss of life. In the beginning our feelings are like a tsunami: all-consuming. Eventually, pauses in grief infiltrate the painful times until we have hours and days where we don't think about it at all. Then one day hope returns, and like a light at the end of a very long tunnel, we begin to see that we will recover and, someday, love again.
The question Tom Nicon's death raises is: Were there signs that he had crossed over to the dark side of grief? A place where there appears to be no hope and the only option is to take one's life? Could his friends and loved ones have taken action that may have helped and possibly prevented his tragic ending? I talked to ProConnect member Lisa Brookes Kift, Marriage & Family Therapist, and asked her words of advice for helping someone in a situation similar to Tom's.
Lisa offered this, "As a professional, the biggest concerns are hopelessness, no reported reason to go on (nothing to keep the person here) and any mention of suicidal thinking along with a plan and means to carry it out. The appearance of making plans to 'tie up loose ends' and giving things away to others is also a worrisome sign. My best advice for the depressed person is to do the best you can to practice self-care, give yourself a break—with clinical depression it's understandable that you can't simply 'brush it off' or 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps.'"

Berlin: Josephine Decker Calls Crowdfunding 'Incredible,' Talks 'Butter on the Latch'
U.S. indie actor-director Josephine Decker has two hotly anticipated films screening in the Berlinale's Forum section. Her directorial debut, "Butter on the Latch," is a sinister folktale set in the Californian forest of Mendocino. Sophomore feature "Thou Wast Mild and Lovely," which is world premiering in Berlin and is being sold by New Europe, is a sensual thriller inspired by "East of Eden," set on a farm in Kentucky. Pic, which stars Sophie Traub, Joe Swanberg and Robert Longstreet, raised funds for its post-production through KickStarter. (Go to Variety.com to watch the exclusive first look of the trailers for these films.) Variety caught up with Decker as she prepared to fly to Berlin for the premieres.
Variety: Have you been to Berlin before?
Decker: I went to Berlin once in middle school on a school trip, and I managed to dye my hair red, and almost get sent home early because a skateboarder I had a crush on wanted me to smuggle his butterfly knife home with me to Texas.
I also went three years ago for the world premiere of Joe Swanberg's "Art History," in which I played a lead. That trip was eventful as well, but the daring things I did during that trip are less publicize-able...
Variety: What are your expectations and hopes for the festival and market?
Decker: I said recently in a Film Fatales (female filmmaker collective in NYC run by Leah Meyerhoff) meeting that my biggest hope for this festival is that everyone who sees "Thou Wast Mild and Lovely" has at least two moments of awe and wonder, in which they feel like they're experiencing something they've never experienced before.
The film is immersive in a deeply visceral way -- and takes you places inside yourself. That is ultimately why I want to make films at all: to give a new experience. And if that happens, I imagine all my dreams for sales and distribution will follow.
Variety: What do you see as the main strengths of "Thou Wast Mild and Lovely" from the perspective of international distributors?
Decker: If I could think like a distributor, I would probably have an easier time. With "Thou Wast Mild and Lovely," I have been pouring my heart into it for a while, and it's full of bold choices with a story that just gets more gripping as the film goes along, so I am hoping that distributors see that and bite.
A sort of terror permeates the film, reinforced by incredible performances and a mind-blowing sound design by Martin Hernandez, who sound designed "Pan's Labyrinth," "21 Grams" and "Amores Perros," among others. It's incredible to collaborate with such an experienced and brilliant artist and really feel the film through its sound.
And Sophie Traub is just electric in her role. I can't believe I cast her thinking she was a performance artist, and found out later that she had been in movies with Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.
Variety: What has been the most challenging aspect of the directing and producing process so far?
Decker: Editing is always hard. You write a script and think you know what you've made, and then you get into the editing room, and things take an entirely new shape.
We spent a very long time crafting this film, and I am so proud of what we did, but phew -- I am exhausted and need to go ride horses for a while. Many hours in a dark room is kind of crazy-making... though I'm incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with David Barker, who is truly a genius with story and tension. He pushed me to never second-guess my own vision and helped me let the film be deeply personal and yet also leave room for the audience to stew and wonder. I grew so much as a filmmaker through my collaboration with him.
Variety: How successful was the crowdfunding process? Were there other benefits in terms of building a community of supporters?
Decker: Crowdfunding was incredible. It was such a life lesson. I make these movies for low budgets because I'm just terrified of big ones and all the sucking up and accommodating that those enforce, but crowdfunding helped me realize that you can fundraise from people who believe in you, and want you to realize exactly the thing you want to make. It definitely helped my film reach a broader audience, and through that experience, I met my now-producer Laura Heberton, who's been a huge help in getting the film through its final stages.
Variety: What has been the response from international distributors to "Butter on the Latch"?
Decker: I've really held "Butter" close because I knew I couldn't show it widely until it premiered in Berlin -- so -- we'll see. I will have a better answer for this in a week or so, I assume.
Variety: What project are you working on now? Decker: I'm certainly dreaming about the next one, though I think I have a long way to go with these yet.
I want to do something in Mexico City with clowning and these pig masks, made by my very versatile friend Isolde, who plays a lead in "Butter on the Latch," and puppeteers and designs on the side.
I'm also developing a project with producers Lacey Leavitt and Mel Eslyn -- a really wildly ambitious fantasy/horror film set in Washington State and inspired by the accordion-playing ladies of the Main Squeeze Orchestra.
Though my project right after Berlin might be to sleep. And eat. And breathe. I haven't done those things in a while.

Philly Principal, Four Teachers Charged In Test-Cheating Scandal
Thursday, May 8, 2014
(Philadelphia, PA) -- A Philadelphia principal and four teachers are facing a slew of charges in a test-cheating scandal. State Attorney General Kathleen Kane said today the defendants perpetuated "a culture of cheating" over a five-year period. Kane claimed that Principal Evelyn Cortez publicly reprimanded teachers who didn't cheat and chastised students who wouldn't change answers or answered questions incorrectly. The Philadelphia School District suspended the five educators with pay after they were arrested this morning.

I live in a wooded area and have a lot of invasive wild roses, poison ivy, and Virgina creeper (which I love) as ground covers. I want to create a more manicured woodland without as many plants I have to avoid touching. My Grandmother also owns a wooded area with mayapple growing wild. I think it looks great and it is native to my area. She has a very healthy and established colony of it. What would be the best way to introduce it to my yard? Just dig up a few clumps and planted it in areas where I have removed my invasive? How can I increase its spreading speed? I would like it to colonize my woodland undergrowth and prevent other weeds from sprouting.
Thanks for any advice!

They transplant easily. Can do it anytime and the clumps can be divided. |
Lycopus is correct. Just be aware that usually they go dormant in the summer, you will have a bare patch thru the summer months. Mine are almost gone now. |
- Posted by fatamorgana Zone5/6 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 3, 11 at 15:29
Mine just finished blooming about a week ago and are working on producing fruit. If not overly hot and dry, they last about half way through the summer here so how long they are visible in your woodland garden is very location dependent. Give the mayapple enough room to spread into a nice round colony. They look the best and grow most happily in large groups. FataMorgana |
Thanks for the info guys! I'm still not clear on when is the best time to transplant! T.J. |

One of the greatest things about the "Southern Jewish Experience" is getting not only to have Southern Jewish experiences, but also getting to be a Southern Jewish experience. This week, Rachel Jarman Myers took the Traveling Trunk to share with students in a summer program at the Tisdale branch of the Jackson/Hinds County Library. For the first time, these students learned hands-on about immigration in America, Jewish culture, and even heard the sound of the shofar.
As you can see, it really was a pretty incredible experience – for the students, and for Rachel!
Shabbat shalom, y'all!

Vinyl for Hipsters vs. Vinyl for High Holy Days: Or, "Old School Columbia Records"
This blog post was written by Anna Stusser, a summer intern currently working in the Museum Department at the ISJL.
Vinyl records capture the imagination. In my hometown of Olympia, Washington, independent craft artists fashion bowls to and household items out of vinyl, appealing to the local indie market. In Brooklyn, the hipster set has revived an interest in vinyl records. I, too, have always seen the charm in the shape and vintage appeal of record players – which is why I became so excited when, in my first few days interning at the ISJL, I found some vintage LP records in the ISJL collection.
It is hard to imagine that modern day hipster twentysomethings, smoking cigarettes on a Brooklyn stoop, have anything in common with a small early-twentieth Southern Jewish congregation. (Other than maybe being Jewish – apparently, Jewish hipsters are their own subculture, and they're into vinyl!)
But here they were, vintage vinyl records that would be prized today in Brooklyn, donated to the ISJL's museum collection by a congregation in Columbia, Tennessee. Why were these vinyl records important to the daily life of their congregation? Why would Jews have vinyl records that they would consider important enough to donate to a museum that dedicates itself to Southern Jewish ethnography?
After discussing it with my supervisor and reviewing the titles of such records (some example: Kol Nidre and Eili, Eili), I began to understand that these vinyl records had been something less trendy, and more functional. More meaningful.
To listen to Cantor Moshe Koussevitzky Singing Aneinu, as featured on one of the records, you can play this recording on YouTube (unfortunately not available as an embedded video, but worth a listen!).
Jews worshiping in Columbia, Tennessee, in the first half of the twentieth century, had no full time rabbi to guide them. Many of the Jewish people living in the area commuted into Nashville for their spiritual needs. However, in the early part of the 1900s, a group of people started the Khal Kadosh Congregation, a name which means "Holy Community." Bilingual services were held in Hebrew and English for a congregation of 16, just barely above the size of a minyan, took place on the second floor of community member Isaac Wolf's store. Although they had no permanent location, the small congregation acquired an Ark and a Torah. The records from Columbia very likely supplemented the services provided. Unfortunately, Khal Kadosh did not survive past 1926, so we do not know for sure.
But it's a likely conclusion that the Jewish people living in Columbia utilized vinyl records out of necessity, because that was the technology that was available at the time. Back then, vinyl wasn't vintage. It was cutting edge.
Small congregations like the one once found in Columbia, TN, still exist today. In the South, many of them are served by the ISJL's rabbinic department, led by Rabbi Marshal Klaven. From Skype B'nai Mitzvah lessons to sending out his Taste of Torah weekly emails, today's virtual resources have replaced those found on vinyl.
Do you remember vinyl – or as a young adult, are you discovering it for the first time? We'd love to hear your vinyl stories, especially if you've ever listened to recordings of Jewish music!

Putting People in Boxes – Literally
I'd like to preface today's post by saying that while I *wish* this were some sort of April Fool's Day joke, it is not.
A friend just sent me this article about a controversial art installation in Germany. In this installation, now informally dubbed "Jew in a Box," visitors can see, encased in glass, a living person of Jewish descent. They can ask that person questions about what it's like to be a Jew in Germany, about Jewish beliefs – anything they have ever wanted to ask a Jewish person, they can pose the question to a Jew in a box.
When my friend (who is not Jewish) sent me this article, her email asked me just one question: "How do you feel about this?"
My immediate response to her, after reading the article, was "SO FREAKING WEIRD."
There is something deeply unsettling to me about this exhibit – this stark presentation of "us" and "them"; a venue where people are literally put in boxes. I read the curator's rationale, about how this will catch folks' attention, and be in their face, and give Germans a chance to interact with a real, live Jew.
But is this the sort of interaction we want?
Why not actual interaction? Something more organic, and less disparate? Jewish docents, perhaps? Moderated conversations? An exchange, even if it's still in-your-face? As an educator, it seems counter-intuitive to me to humanize someone, or some group, by putting an actual wall between people. It seems to me that this does not emphasize unique-ness, but other-ness. And isn't that the problem Germany is still painfully recovering from, decades later?
I also had to wonder why on earth someone would get in the box. Who would volunteer? Luckily, the article covers this, with a volunteer Jew-in-a-box describing why he is participating in the installation:
"With so few of us, you almost inevitably feel like an exhibition piece," volunteer Leeor Englander said. "Once you've been `outed' as a Jew, you always have to be the expert and answer all questions regarding anything related to religion, Israel, the Holocaust and so on."
I considered this. After all, I live in Jackson, Mississippi. I have been several people's FJF (First Jewish Friend, y'all). I've had to answer questions about Jewish culture and religion, although I'm quick to point out that I can't speak for all Jews. In other words, yes. I do understand what it's like to feel 'outed' as a Jew in a place where we are so few. I do understand what it means to "feel inevitably like an exhibition piece," as the installation volunteer puts it – but that doesn't mean I would want to actually be an exhibition piece.
Still – this exhibition is resonating with some folks, even as it irks others. And here's the real kicker, in case you didn't already click on the link and read the whole article already – what museum is hosting this exhibit?
The Jewish Museum. And the curator, Miriam Goldmann, is Jewish.
By the way, the actual name of the exhibit is "The Whole Truth: Everything you always wanted to know about Jews," and in addition to live people in boxes, it includes installation such as a wall posing the question How Can You Recognize a Jew?, with hats and yarmulkes and "traditional Jewish garb" on display in front of the wall.
The whole truth? How can you recognize a Jew? It reminds me of the last time I went to a zoo, and the various species of birds and monkeys were being described. The more I read about it and the more I thought about it, the more my initial reaction seems to sum it up: SO. FREAKING. WEIRD.
And more than that – a little frightening.

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
it was exactly that Caro - insurance only covered over 8s, stupid considering the wall at Inverness takes wee kiddies, as does the one at Grantown-on-Spey that we ended up at. I know it was their grand opening but surely that is quite a detail!! anyway, I've put a 'not very happy' comment on their facebook page and am going to write a whing-a-letter - I did see, after I'd posted, that someone else on a different page on FB had said they noted it was for over 8s, but I don't know where they would have found that info as not clear at all!!! I was fuming, and pointed out she'd been climbing before and we did know what we were doing. Stupid thing was, they even had their own staff belaying too - grrrrr. Anyway turned out well as other wall is closer and the staff are lovely, even if it's yet another wall that's only open after school hours or in the evening and weekend afternoons. So no use if you work shifts or can't get out in the evening!!!
oh nightmare, cc - glad you got a climb in anyway
J stressing excessively all day long about not being able to get to sleep at night. any advice anyone? we have bedtime routine as always (as you all know now!). and he admits he is tired but he just says he doesn't know how to fall asleep. he reads in bed, then it is lights out but he is already stressing he won't be able to sleep. don't know what else to suggest to him. told him to try thinking of animals beginning with each letter of the alphabet, or visualisation of building lego or whatever, but he says he can't do it. i don't have a cd player i can put in his room either - otherwise i would try some quiet classical music. any other tips? he is worrying about it all day now and gets really upset (sobbing) within minutes of lights out.
i know how he feels - i hate not being able to get to sleep!
Sorry, no idea CM. the letters of the alphabet thing is the technique I use. Poor J. He's pretty active isn't he? I know when we have taken Max to play tennis after school he sleeps better but I know j is active.
I would purchase a cheap cd player and try the classical
music or relaxation cd CM and maybe a notepad that he can write his thoughts in if he is thinking about things. Or something relaxing but non stimulating to do
like colouring in. And just talking about how it doesn't matter
if he can't get to sleep straight away, it becomes a viscous circle
worrying about not sleeping. So give him lots of other options of what to
do instead and try to take the worry out of it.
No it doesn't matter how much he has done. He plays 2+ hrs rugby on sun and does half an hour swimming lesson (swims about 40 lengths in that time) and still can't sleep. Is definitely anxiety
have given him notepad but he says that doesn't work. Have tried reasoning with him about it but he catastrophises (wonder where he gets that from). I think the key is to take the anxiety out of it and get him to see it doesn't matter. Will have to use my cbt tech iques as I learn them. Argh iPad autocorrect.
This isn't much help in that I can't remember how it resolved itself but I have a distinct memory of being in floods of tears for nights in a row when I was wee because I couldn't sleep and it developed into this thing whereby if I wasn't asleep by 8.50 then I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep.
Maybe u could do a yoga dvd together with a relaxation
bit at the end, so he can learn some relaxation techniques
My J rarely goes to sleep immediately he goes to bed - he has night owl tendencies like me , but the light goes out and I know he lies there playing with his lego figures in the dark and then because he's distracted and quite chilled he just nods off. I accept he's not like his sister who HAS to be in bed at a reasonable time or she's just evil, goes out like a light and up like a lark!! I have banned him from taking large lego things into bed as they fall out in the night and wake me up with a crash (he has a cabin bed!!). His light is always out between 8.30-9pm but sometimes I can hear him still fidgeting at 9.30-10pm. I figure he's resting and therefore chilling. At least 2x a week he will be crashed out by 8.30pm anyway.
Actually I remember now that my mum made me go through my whole body tensing up each part individually and consciously relaxing it. I think it helped a bit but I can't remember how I got over it completely. Now I get to sleep ok but when I am at work (and very noticeably NOT when I am on mat leave) I tend to waken up about 3 or 4 am probably 4 nights out of 7 and that's me awake for a good 2h.
Your work sounds awful. We have to do tenders like that too and one time the tender was half completed when someone said why are we doing this - they want us to do the work for next to nothing and so they told the company to bog off and didn't apply.
Just made scones for the first time in my life! For someone who adores scones that is a bit ridiculous but I will def do it again as I have calculated the ww points and it's only 4 per scone They are so scrummy though it helps that they are just out of the oven.
WHat kind of lighting do u have on in the hr b4 bed CM?
Recommended that u keep lighting low in bathroom
and read with a very low wattage lamp or a red light is even
better as apparently protects night vision.
Eating hi carb dinner 3hrs b4 bed, no sugar in the evening,
make sure nothing he eats or drinks contains caffeine. Kiwi
fruit apparently a good sleep inducing snack too(seen a woman on some food doctor program and those things
Sometimes they just need to stew on a thought for a
while b4 it sinks in. Sounds like kind of thing I always say
to my kids lol. my pet hate is when they say they 'need' something, always triggers my 'are you going to drop dead if you don't get it' speech.
I have a bee in my bonnet though because I know there is a
high risk my kids may develop rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis
as both my Mum and Nana have/ had one or both so I feel they have to grow up with a positive
can do attitude if they r going to cope should that happen.
My middle girl won't go to sleep until 9.30-10 pm. She is often awake when I go to bed. She normally sits playing with her moshi monsters, Lego or colouring in. Small lamp on in room only. Have to make sure she hasn't sneaked her DS upstairs though as she will hide it under the bedcovers!!!! The other two go to sleep fairly easily.
i have just got into bed as on a night shift tonight so
will try & have a wee doze shortly. It's a good excuse to come up to bed for some peace n quiet at least!!!
CM- sounds a horrible ear infection u have. Maybe need different AB's if no improvement soon eh. Easy for me to say but try & not stress too much about your interview, what will be will be. You are an amazing mum so look after yourself self x
TT- I'm always trying to make my girs( and myself) be thankful for what they have. R moans a lot & I'm always saying things like you should be thankful to be fit & healthy with a lovely house, bike etc etc. whether she takes any notice of my ramblings I don't know!!!!
working in HDU has really made me appreciate like & know that it can change in a split sec ( get road traffic accidents often). Life is defiantly precious and we don't know how lucky we are until it's too late sometimes.
anyway well done to all who's been running over the weekend. Nil exercise today for me apart from 50 sit ups before my bath!!! Yesterday did a 3.5 mile run with 100 squats through out the run!!!! My quads were sore for 4 days after last Tusedays hill run so clearly I do not have thighs of steel after all that cycling!!!! So Feb. is going to be all about hill running & trying to fit in some map reading & learning to use a compass a bit better!
Cc- what kind of sleeping bag will you use for the HMM
I only have cheap bulky sleeping bags so I must see if I can borrow one from somewhere as to get a tiny, warm one is expensive. Also is it the OMM pack you use? 32 litre or 25???
Right better read my book to try n get sleepy!!!! Night
I ran my first ever XC today. Blimey it was tough. Hilly, very soggy and a steady gale. Still fun though!
Just a quickie, be back later. CC I was thinking about entering the Brecon Beacons Ultra in Nov, have you done it before? Would you recommend it? I am going Glenmore 24 in Sept but just wanted something for the end of the year.
Lotte - it was my first ever 'proper' ultra in 2009, think my garmin had it at about 46.5-47 miles in the end. Likeys are a fabulous bunch of people. It's a two-lapper so depends if that bothers you. A real mix of road, trail, forest fire tracks, a fairly evil climb called Tor-y-foel and then another climb up to 'the gap', before a nasty descent (if it's wet) before hitting trail/road/canal. So it's a good mix, basic support - like just water at the stations. If I lived nearer I think I'd do it again as it really is just so low key. I probably have a race report I wrote about it somewhere ... (I'm sad, as I like writing stories I keep all my race reports on file ... I know ... sad!). I wouldn't dither too much as it's usually a speedy sell-out. Others enjoy the May Contain Nuts series as they are more 'adventurous' on route choice apparently, but I think this one has plenty going for it without needing hard core navigation skills etc. as they are such a great team. Their online shop is fab too.
RF - at the moment I am using my standard 3 season down sleeping bag which is reasonably light but not that small, have used it on all other mm except the one where I thought I'd use a £10 Tesco sleeping bag because it was so small - well how could I possibly freeze in the Lake District at the beginning of July with daytime temps of 22 degrees + ... wrong ... clear skies, almost a frost, me shivering away wearing waterproofs in my sleeping bag!!! It's the blue one, which is I think the 32l one. Mine is 14 years old so may see if I can borrow hubby's as his is only about 4 years old!! I can usually get everything in but has been a while since I've done such packing. You really have to focus on the absolute basics and put up with being stinky for a night!! You need food bags for your feet - so you can put nice warm dry socks on in tent but wear food bags over feet so you can wear your wet stinky shoes around the camp ground in the evening I too have been doing squats to sort out lazy glutes etc!

THE ART OF SHOPPING Socialites from across Asia are flocking to X (181 Tai Cang Rd.; 86-21/6328-7111) in Xin Tian Di to snap up sumptuous silk-and-feather bags, scarves, and evening wear by Anthony Xavier Edwards, a transplanted Australian who's as gleefully eccentric as his creations. ¶ They're also checking out the exhibitions by China's leading contemporary artists at ShangART (2A Gao Lan Rd., Fuxing Park; 86-21/6359-3923). For experimental work, head over to BizArt (610 Huai Hai Xi Rd.; 86-21/3226-0709), housed in a factory that once produced tannery equipment. ¶ Plaza 66 (1266 Nan Jing Xi Rd.; 86-21/6279-0910), Citic Square (1168 Nan Jing Xi Rd.; 86-21/6218-0180), and Times Square (99 Huai Hai Zhong Rd.; 86-21/6391-0800) provide a tamer shopping experience. They're dominated by the likes of Gucci, Prada, Armani, and Chanel, though they also show Asian designers and include Taiwanese actress Loretta Hui-Shan Yang's Liuli Gongfang stores, which sell colored crystal objets. ¶ Nanjing Road, Shanghai's once famous shopping street, still blazes with neon at night but is geared to local trade. Style mavens instead peruse the boutiques along Huai Hai Zhong Road.
AFTER DARK Pu-J's at the Grand Hyatt is a perennial favorite, with a DJ and live band in the Dance Zone, Western recording artists in the Music Room, karaoke suites, even a wine bar. A young crowd packs the disco nightly. ¶ Pegasus (Bldg. 2-F, Golden Bell Plaza, 98 Huai Hai Zhong Rd.; 86-21/5385-8187) teems with partyers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. ¶ The Cotton Club (1428 Huai Hai Zhong Rd; 86-21/6437-7110) has long been Shanghai's best place for blues and jazz, but it now has some competition from Blues & Jazz (158 Mao Ming Rd.; 86-21/6437-5280), opened after the city bulldozed another of the owner's nightspots to create a park by Suzhou Creek.
¶ You step onto the city's much-touted people-mover and psychedelic lights start flashing. The Bund-to-Pudong shuttle is outfitted with a sound-and-light show tacky enough to make any self-respecting investment banker blush.
¶ You bite into a tiny pork dumpling and are sprayed by hot, savory juices. These are xiao long bao, served in bamboo steamers: dip them in brown vinegar before eating.
¶ Your bartender, who's been speaking what sounds like perfectly inflected Shanghainese, turns out to be Japanese. There are so many Japanese now living in Shanghai that they've created a cottage industry of homestyle bars and sushi restaurants.
¶ Buildings look as if they've been transported from other cities or, occasionally, distant planets. There's a faux Petronas Towers, a mini—Hong Kong Convention Center, a Bank of China clone, and the chartreuse-and-steel Pearl Oriental TV Tower, which was apparently inspired by Star Trek.
